Ark is a graphical file compression/decompression utility with support
for multiple formats.

A vulnerability was discovered in how Ark handles executable files while
browsing a compressed archive. A user could unintentionally execute a
malicious script which has the executable bit set inside of the archive.
This is due to Ark not displaying what files are executable and running
the associated applications for the file type upon execution.

A remote attacker, by coercing a user to browse a malicious archive file
within Ark and execute certain files, could execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user.
